[*] 164.1. locum, etc.: here there is really nothing to tell, as Caesar found the country deserted （ch. 29）, and returned at once to Gaul. We owe to this void in the narrative a most curious and entertaining glimpse into the geographic and ethnographic knowledge of the time. See the introductory chapters on Gaul and Germany. [*] 164.7. existimantur: is only explanatory, hence the indic. [*] 164.8. quorum: the antecedent is principes. [*] 164.9. redeat: is characteristic （§ 535 (320); B. 283; G. 631. 1; H. 591. 1 (503. 1); cf. H-B. 521. 1）. The idea seems to be: It is the chief men of these factions （those namely who are regarded as most influential） who have the supreme authority. Hence the effort of each of the chieftains to look out for his dependents. A good illustration is found in modern political bosses. [*] 164.10. ne … egeret: in app. with eius rei, the past tense （egeret） taking its time from institutum [esse]: § 485. j, 585. a (287. i, 336. B. N. 2); B. 268. 7. b, 268. 2; G. 518; H. 548 (495. iv); H-B. 483. [*] 164.13. haec … Galliae, this same state of things exists in general throughout enitre Gaul. [*] 164.14. divisae: adj. use of the participle; cf. divisa, 1 1.
